It's 2025 and Baldur's Gate 3 resembles more of a cult than a game at this point. I still think about it constantly, despite my last session being over five months ago when I diligently tested out the modding client. Tuna the mystical Kuo Toa might not have made it further than Emerald Grove, but the multiple meme pages, inside jokes with friends, and the cast's firm foothold in the industry's convention scene mean that Baldur's Gate 3 is soldered to my prefrontal cortex like the Netherese Orb is to Gale's soul.
I'm not the only one who can't stay away. For a game that was supposed to be finished save for some final touches, Larian seems allergic to letting the ink dry. And who can blame it when BG3's Dungeons & Dragons setting has so much more to give? Larian's dedicated support of its blockbuster RPG has cemented Baldur's Gate 3 as a legacy already, turning it into a living, breathing artifact that could well reach Stardew Valley levels of perma-development if the studio really wanted it to.
